Google has just announced a number of updates to Google+ in the browser, including the addition of a new “Local reviews” tab, a sleeker and easier to edit About tab and larger cover photos.

Google says the new Local reviews tab will sit alongside “your photos, +1’s and YouTube videos,” and will allow users to highlight their favorite restaurants. This is an interesting move on Google’s part, even if the tab can easily be hidden, and it’s likely that Google hopes to use these recommendations to enhance its own social search results.
